Introduction: Human mastadenovirus (HAdV) types 8, 37, 64 have been considered the major contributors in Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) epidemics, but recent surveillance data have shown the involvement of emerging recombinants, including HAdV-53, HAdV-54, and HAdV-56. In our initial work, positive samples for adenovirus revealed that our strains were closer to HAdV-54 than HAdV-8. Hence, the current study aimed to use whole genome technology to identify the HAdV strain correctly.

- * Researchers collected 709 swabs over three years and found that 47.8% tested positive for Human Adenovirus, while lower rates were observed for other agents like HSV and Enterovirus.
- * The findings highlight that HAdV is the leading cause of keratoconjunctivitis, which can help inform public health strategies and prevent unnecessary antibiotic use.
Importance: An outbreak of COVID-19-associated rhino-orbitocerebral mucormycosis (CAM) has occurred in many parts of the world. Although the clinical profile and risk factors for CAM have been studied, cumulative mortality and its risk factors have not.
Objective: To report the cumulative mortality rates at different times in cases with CAM and identify risk factors for CAM-associated mortality.
A Rare Case of An Atypical Solitary Fibrous Tumour of Orbit.
J Clin Diagn Res
November 2016
Article Synopsis
- Solitary fibrous tumours are rare growths of mesenchymal origin that usually occur in the pleura but can also develop in various other parts of the body, including the orbit.
- A case study involving a 41-year-old man showed a painless mass in the left orbit causing eye displacement, with imaging suggesting possible lacrimal gland or nerve sheath tumours.
- Following complete surgical excision, histopathological results indicated the presence of a solitary fibrous tumour with atypical features; however, no malignant characteristics were found, and the patient remained recurrence-free after 18 months.
Background: The risk of developing open angle glaucoma increases in the presence of associated disorders such as hypertension, Diabetes mellitus and migraine. In recent years, sleep apnoea is also being investigated as a risk factor in the development of open angle glaucoma.
Aim: To ascertain the significance of sleep apnoea as a risk factor in patients with glaucoma.
A 65-year-old woman presented with malignant melanoma of the right socket following evisceration of her right eye for ocular trauma 8 years previously. Computed tomography demonstrated a solid mass adjacent to the residual eviscerated eyeball without extra-orbital extension. The tumour was removed by total exenteration of the orbit.
